    Sorry but personally I am not at all interested in chapati flour/bread making from it so perhaps.....we could keep the posts relevant to topic? Otherwise it is very difficult to read...for answers to own question Thanks a lot

    The topic is:
    Single person, London, living on £80.00 per month - possible?

    Which bit went off topic? :p;)

    Lighten up...someone was interested enough to ask.:cool:

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Perhaps my wording was wrong... I mean I am not interested in the chapati flour/bread making.. nothing to do with a need to lighten up, rather with ,,, having to trawl through irrelevant to me (OP) posts....ah.... never mind. Perhaps I am bing silly but time is so precious....

    ***********************

    What veggies are easiest to freeze? Can you roast veggies that were previously frozen like pepers for example? Have no idea, would love to know....

    What about fruits? Freezing fresh fruis? Possibly a no no?

    Hmmmm

    Sorry... perhaps silly question but if I go to that market and get a lot.....



    Thanks a lot.

    I freese apples, peeled and cored, cut into eighths or sixths wedges, but they are only good for cooking with(sweet or savoury, we use lots of apples in cooking. Berries freeze, bananas freeze and can be eaten frozen...good for guilt free muchies. If you plan to cook or stew the fruit a lot can be frozen. We do this, because it feels more right to eat it in that way through winter.

    Can someone kindly point me to some lentil receipes?

    Like lentils but have no idea what to do with them myself, what kind to buy?

    Anyone knows a receipe for a nice dahl> Preferably with something less fattening than ghee... ;)

    Thanks a lot.

    Mmmmm, watermelon in particular ;) Freeze in chunks in lots of small bags so you don't have to defrost any larger quantity than you need. Weight loss treat delight. Frozen bananas popped in the blender with optional vanilla essence or a teaspoon of cocoa powder make great cheap low fat 'ice cream'
